I just file a FOIA request with the NSA for my own data. I can usually remember the redacted bits with some context. If I need help rebuilding my iTunes library I can just subpoena that from the RIAA. You're welcome.
while prohibited from examining other files, an anonymous tip of CP is called into the police, who do their own full investigation, which is then subpoena'd by the RIAA...
or better still, the forensics experts leave some CP behind, return the hard drive, THEN call in the tip..
The upshot of this is you have no rights to leave or reenter the country. Forget about it, if you leave, just plan on not coming back because you left the constitution behind.
I've found the primary benefit of cubicles among programmers to be the rapid facilitation of koosh ball and nerf wars between cubes.
For those people who... oh, I don't know... focus on doing their JOBS, the privacy of an office is the best thing. When collaboration is necessary, the door opens.
I have an office, and I have experimentally confirmed that the door does open, and I can go to a different location when collaboration is necessary, even a lab environment. When I need privacy and concentration, I have experimentally confirmed that the door closes and people leave me alone. Best of all, when I need a 30 second mental break, I can look out the window and watch birds for a bit. Its a useful eyeball reboot.
You guys are harshing my conspiracy theory. I want to believe that Diebold stole the election for George W. Bush, not that Microsoft gave it to him by accident.
Yes! It is important to insert a Village People, Yanni, or Microsoft CD into the drive as a placeholder so the air trapped in the CD tray doesn't get radioactive in the microwave.
I used to be a janitor. The server used to be left logged in as root. But they weren't looking for extra accounts with uid 0 anyway.
There are janitors who know about 'rm -rf/', but that's about as obvious as a sledgehammer. Anyway, the end result ended up being that anytime anyone at that facility had an issue, they had me fix it rather than have to go thru the help desk. Of course I couldn't get a computer job anywhere, because I was a janitor. Eventually a member of the local old-boy network took pity on me and gave me a desktop support job, eventually I finished my degree, and now get paid by the government to have contractors do all my work for me.
Anyway, there's a lot more janitors running home qmail-LDAP servers on freebsd than you may know about.
When you're talking the difference between algorithms that's O(n) vs. O(2n), yes, the hardware will eventually make up the difference. When you're talking the difference between algorithms that are O(n lg n) vs. O(2^n), no, hardware performance improvements won't make much difference at all. And every computer takes the same amount of time to process an infinite loop.
Sure, most programming is little more than glue these days, but there can be some very real differences in the way some of your API calls are glued together.
I started before the Arab people even discovered the concept of zero. Try programming in unary on cuneform, with a rounded rock chisel! It was pure luxury just to receive the daily lashing afterward.
Obviously, during your tenure, you were a geek who was managed by a possible normal, who possibly had no skills in management. Just remember how such people make their way through life, identify the most talented but yet insecure geek working for you, and terrorize him (and its gotta be a him, no woman would ever put up with it) into carrying the entire operation on his shoulders while you attend to important "meetings" (usu. involving golf, martinis, mistresses, or some combination thereof). W. will be calling you Cliffy Boy in no time!
Note that the US only uses them as defoliants, not weapons. Lots of trees obscuring the view of the desert...
The US does this not because Americans are evil, but because the nation is ruled by lawyers. Only lawyers could justify the use of banned weapons as 'defoliants'.
DU is not banned for use against armor, but it is banned for use against basic infantry. Those columns of Iraqi strafed by A10s sure looked like an armor column to me...
Then, there's the dozer blades attached to the Abrams tanks in Gulf 1, to simply bury alive the lucky Iraqi troops which survived the B52 carpetbombings.
And then there's the thermobarics..
Moral of the story: Never, ever elect a Texan. Never.

Not that there was much of it left.

Yes.
So they can make more money on penalties and interest when you make a mistake.

I like to insert my I-pod into my anus. MMMmmmmm!
My friend James likes to pureee and bake Iraqis with lemon grass then stick them up his ass.
My friend James polishes hire H1-B workers to polish his Johnson.
I patent screwing off on /. all day.
I'm rich. Pay up.
